Abstract: A system for optical wireless power transmission to a power receiving apparatus generally situated in a mobile electronic device. The transmitter has an optical resonator with end reflectors and a gain medium positioned between them, such that an optical beam is generated. The frequency of the beam is selected such that it is absorbed by almost all transparent organic materials in general use. A beam steering unit on the transmitter can direct the beam in any of a plurality of directions, and the beam is absorbed on the receiver by means of an optical-to-electrical power converter, through a low reflection surface. The band gap of this power converter is selected to be smaller than that of the gain medium. The receiver has a voltage converter including an inductor, an energy storage device and a switch. A beam steerer controller ensures that the beam impinges on the receiver.

Abstract: A system for transmitting wireless power from multiple sources to multiple receivers, in which the safety of the system is maintained in spite of the possibility that two beams may intersect in the transmission space, thereby generating power or power density levels which exceed those at which the safety mechanisms of the system were designed to operate. The paths of the beams are known from the transmission positions and directions, and from the positions and orientations of the receivers, as measured by positioning devices on them. When an intersection, or near intersection of beams is determined, the system is triggered to reduce the safety risk by attenuating or turning off, or by diverting, one or more of the beams. In addition, since a reflected beam's path may not be readily discernable, the system can ascertain if one of the beams has undergone a reflection, by looking for displayed mirror images.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for managing the storage of dynamic neural network data within bit-addressable memory devices, such phase change memory (PCM) arrays or other storage class memory (SCM) arrays. In some examples, a storage controller determines an expected amount of change within data to be updated. If the amount is below a threshold, an In-place Write is performed using bit-addressable writes via individual SET and RESET pulses. Otherwise, a modify version of an In-place Write is performed where a SET pulse is applied to preset a portion of memory to a SET state so that individual bit-addressable writes then may be performed using only RESET pulses to encode the updated data. In other examples, a storage controller separately manages static and dynamic neural network data by storing the static data in a NAND-based memory array and instead storing the dynamic data in a SCM array.

Abstract: A plug is connectable to an electrical socket which has concentric ring shaped openings housing electrical contacts. The plug has a body supporting electrically conductive concentric rings insertable into the socket to contact the electrical contacts to form electrical connections. A hollow post extends away from the plug body and has a transverse aperture therethrough. A rod with a narrowed portion is slideable within the post. A spring biases the rod towards a latched position in which the narrow portion is not adjacent to the transverse aperture. A cross-brace is connected to a portion of the rod which extends outside of the post. Pins engage the cross brace and can be pushed to move the brace, and thereby push the rod to position the narrowed portion to an unlatched position adjacent the aperture to enable removal of the plug.
